Booth presentations take place in the exhibition hall over lunch.
The post lunch keynote is with Dame Karen Poutasi, who
speaks on her reflections on health and education in the face of a global
pandemic. Offering three reflections.
The sound from this recorded presentation was difficult. So
my notes are brief.
Dame Karen spoke on three items. 1) Health and education are
fundamentally important. 2) The drivers of research are evidence. 3) Massive
disruption provides us with major opportunities. Overviewed her background in
health and education and how these two are intertwined.
Health and education contribute to peoples’ well-being and
to economic sustainability. Education levels impact on health outcomes. Better
well-being contributes to sustained engagement with education. Both contribute
to the public good. Education is especially important to help people attain
better opportunities. Stressed the importance of VET in playing a role.
I then present in the breakout session on ‘supporting
practice-based learning with digital technologies’. In short, an overview of a
book I am working on, to be published early next year. Basically outlining how
to support practice-based learning (mimesis, mimetic learning) by matching the
pedagogies (rich learning, modelling, guided learning and making
learning/thinking visible) with technology relevant to the learners and their
context. Introduced the push-connect the dots/learning-pull model as one way to
design/plan online practice-based learning. Encouraged shifting to project/
problem or inquiry based learning structure to help learners make sense of the
learning and to apply to authentic, real-world practice.
